Detailed explanation-1: -Network bandwidth is a measurement indicating the maximum capacity of a wired or wireless communications link to transmit data over a network connection in a given amount of time. Typically, bandwidth is represented in the number of bits, kilobits, megabits or gigabits that can be transmitted in 1 second.
Detailed explanation-2: -The maximum amount of data transmitted over an internet connection in a given amount of time. Bandwidth is often mistaken for internet speed when it’s actually the volume of information that can be sent over a connection in a measured amount of time – calculated in megabits per second (Mbps).
Detailed explanation-3: -The DTR is sometimes also referred to as throughput. In telecommunications, data transfer is usually measured in bits per second. For example, a typical low-speed connection to the internet may be 33.6 kilobits per second.
Detailed explanation-4: -Why do we refer to our internet speeds as “bandwidth” with units of measurement like “10 Mbps"? As I understand it, Bandwidth is, as the name implies, the width of the frequency band, typically measured in Hertz. So if you had a signal with a spectrum from 2MHz to 10MHz, your bandwidth would be 8MHz.
